i synthesize instructions events
b synthesize branches events
c synthesize branches events (calls only)
r synthesize branches events (returns only)
x synthesize transactions events
e synthesize error events
d create a debug log
g synthesize a call chain (use with i or x)
l synthesize last branch entries (use with i or x)
s skip initial number of events
The default is all events i.e. the same as --itrace=ibxe
In addition, the period (default 100000) for instructions events
can be specified in units of:
i instructions
t ticks
ms milliseconds
us microseconds
ns nanoseconds (default)
Also the call chain size (default 16, max. 1024) for instructions or
transactions events can be specified.
Also the number of last branch entries (default 64, max. 1024) for
instructions or transactions events can be specified.
It is also possible to skip events generated (instructions, branches, transactions)
at the beginning. This is useful to ignore initialization code.
--itrace=i0nss1000000
skips the first million instructions.
